Hey everyone! Thanks for watching, and leave me any additional questions you have. I didn't include G-Sync/FreeSync in the video here, mostly because of the Adaptive Sync standard that's available now. If you want to see a video about that in the future, though... leave me a comment here
HDR is really awesome for movies and TV shows, but not that much of an improvement for gaming. I play games in HDR on my Series X and LG C2 TV and I don't miss HDR at all on my PC gaming monitor. Brightness is also much more important for TVs with HDR than for a gaming monitor. A 500 nit monitor is just perfect and doesn't cause me eyestrain. Low latency is important, but I never noticed any improvement measured in single milliseconds. The BIGGEST monitor feature that improves gaming is variable refresh rate. G-Sync and FreeSync are the best monitor/GPU features to hit gaming. This is because variable refresh makes gameplay look very smooth even at lower FPS. I won't buy a monitor without this feature.
@@zZiL341yRj736 this is not true at all. For true hdr you need a monitor capable of deep blacks/ good contrast, locks dimming, high brightness etc. a “hdr 400” monitor is not really good for hdr at all.
@@danebeee1 I love watching movies and tv shows in HDR with MY OLED HDR TV, but the latest games don’t really take advantage of this feature much at all.
I originally had a 1080p 27inch 144hz monitor and after going to 1440p 27 inch i didnt realize how much crisper it would be with the higher pixel density. Cant go back to 1080p now
I bought an Acer Predator X27 when it came out for the best 4K 1000nit HDR goodness for console gaming on a small screen. It was 2 grand and looks like a dream, but time has passed and now TV's smoke it with HDMI 2.1 allowing for higher refresh rates and VRR for consoles along with full bandwidth color. Not to say it's not good looking with a load of dimming zones, but for the price of this monitor, there are more TV's and monitors that can give comparable experiences.
As a fps/rpg gamer the first thing I consider is HDR performance and color coverage(or color depth). better image quality make gaming more delightful than higher fps imo (I can play apex at less then 60fps and get kill but I can't stand the quility below 2K and 8-bit color depth, those are inhuman (or CoD at 45fps
I’m debating between an oled tv or monitor. Both have uses but getting both is way outside of my budget. I’m getting oled though as I have it on my phone and the thing reads better than my kindle 😍
I bought the LG C2 OLED and it’s worth it for the streaming services that support it, but you will only see it on newer shows and movies that support it on streaming platforms that support it also. Apple TV and Amazon Prime are good for UHD and HDR, not so much on the other services I subscribe to.
decent basic info video... but the prices at the end are crazy high unless that's in Canadian. I've had a 27" 1440p 144hz monitor that I paid $240 for new in 2018. 1440p 144hz monitors should NOT cost more than $300 or you're wasting money. And 4k monitors shouldn't be more than $500-700 or you're overpaying too.
How about a top tier gaming monitor for the ps5? I travel alot for work so lugging around my 65" Samsung 8k from state to state kinda sucks lol. So a 32" would be awesome. Any suggestions?
I'm in need of a new monitor and have just started to look. I think that burn-in would be a worry for OLED monitors used for gaming, correct?. Static images such as the heads up, mini-maps, etc are common with any game and that's what causes image retention. Do I need to worry about burn-in with an OLED monitor?
Would it be possible to cover Quantum Dot technology in an easy to understand format? As an add-on to led and OLED, what the pros and cons would be for each?
You don't need a video for that. There are no cons. It's just an additional color layer between the sheets. It increases color gamut. And does nothing else.

@@quincyquincy4764 a better GPU is your main way to getting a 120/144hz. Even a 3060ti or 3070 puts you on a much better path to that. 3060 will still be mostly achievable.

At those prices, I'd be better off buying a TV and gaming on it. I'm *not* paying 700+ dollars for a Monitor in the 20s and 30" My first 4k monitor cost me a little over 200 dollars. I'm *not* paying these ridiculous prices.

would love to put the best budget , best gaming monitor , and finally why there aren't any monitor that support Dolby vision .
I wanna see that, though it'll only be a small factor in whatever monitor I choose next.

I can just calibrate my monitor or use reshade and BAM HDR. HDR is just a preset more or less.

@@zZiL341yRj736 Not really. If you have tv with high dynamic range, video shot in HDR really pops and it’s an obvious improvement.

@@zZiL341yRj736 You will still need a monitor with high dynamic range to use HDR. That’s the whole point of HDR.
UA-cam reviewers actually make finding a great gaming monitor very easy. Just watch a lot of different opinions and then make your own

This is my daily monitor. I got the QD OLED and liked this one so much more that I sold the QD OLED.

I find it to be an issue because important details get lost in the dark.
Had the Cooler master GP27U for a week now. It is insane good. Nearly as good as my LG OLED for deep blacks but gets way brighter. Was only £800

Not really I found a nice used ASUS 27 inch 1440P 1MS at the Paymore Cary store! It’s incredible 🏆🎄
great video :)
Great video, very informative and helpful
I'm rocking a 27' 1440P 165hz. Not planning on upgrading till a 32' 4K 240hz comes out. Please no more curved screens.
I'm waiting for new Asus 27 inch OLED 1440p and LG 27 1440p OLED that they will show of at CES 2023

I really want a gaming monitor for my ps5. I saw one for sale, an 24inch 144hz 1080 1ms, LG display. Is that a good fit for a ps5?
im looking for a flat screen tv to use as a pc moniter also for playing games and watching movies dont know what would be good for all three

Absolute their only just getting close to fixing burn in now but it’s still a problem for a few more years.
